Google Chrome < 53.0.2785.113 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Mac OS X)

High Nessus Plugin ID 93477

Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 53.0.2785.113. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A use-after-free error exists in the file bindings/modules/v8/V8BindingForModules.cpp that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5170) - A use-after-free error exists in Blink that is related to window constructors being callable. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5171) - An arbitrary memory read error exists in V8 that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to disclose sensitive memory information. (CVE-2016-5172) - A flaw exists due to improper handling of specially crafted web pages. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to load JavaScript extension resources, which may then be used to perform unauthorized actions. (CVE-2016-5173) - A flaw exists that is triggered when in fullscreen mode, in file ui/cocoa/browser_window_controller_private.mm, that results in a failure to suppress popups. (CVE-2016-5174) - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an attacker to impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability. (CVE-2016-5175, VulnDB 144201) - A flaw exists due to improper handling of IPC messages for dead routing IDs. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5175, VulnDB 144214) - An unspecified flaw exists that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass the SafeBrowsing protection mechanism. (CVE-2016-5176)Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
